Question

why is bionaomial nomenclature called so

Answer 1

Answer-

Topic - Binominal Nomenclature

• In biology, every organism is given two proper names. First is the name of Genus to which an organism belongs.
• This genus name be shared among a number of other closely related organisms.
• A genus name is similar to a person's surname.
• The organism shares this name with other members of its genus, just as we share our surname with other members  of our family.
• An organism's second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.
• This name is specific to the organism in question and the name is not shared with any other organism in that particular genus.
• The scientific names are unique, understood and followed all over the world. They are not changed easily.
• They are guided by a set of rules in the International Code of Biological Nomenclature.
• As per the convention, the genus name is always written first with its first letter capitalised.
• Species name is written after the genus name and its first letter is always in small case.
• Both names of an individual are printed in italics. When hand written, both the names are underlined.

Example -  

(Genus) - Rana   (Species) - tigrina  =  Frog.

》 Nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century, the scientific name of an organism is the result of the process of classification which put it along with the organism it is most related to, But when we actually name the species we do not list out the whole hierarchy of groups it belongs to Instead we limit ourselves to writing the name of the genus and species of that particular organisms,The world over it has been observed that pool these names will be used in Latin forms,
》But a/c to Binomial Nomenclature..
>>We firstly write the genus name in capital and then species name after it in small letter.
ex.-Tiger-Tigris panthera
